Along, rigid conductor, lying along an x axis, carries a current of 4.99 a in the negative x direction. a magnetic field is present, given by = 3.72 + 8.72 x2, with x in meters and in milliteslas. find (a) the x-component, (b) the y-component, and (c) the z-component of the force on the 1.36 m segment of the conductor that lies between x = 1.41 m and x = 2.77 m.

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Current in conductor=I=4.99 A  (-x direction)

Magnetic field=B=

(1mT=)

x(in m) and B (in mT)

Length of conductor is given in negative x- direction

Force on current carrying conductor is given by

Integrating on both sides then we get

 (

a. x- component of force=0

b.y- component of force=0

c.z- component of force=-0.268 N

it is given that trillions of microbes make up to 1% to 3% of the body mass.

let's take average of this percentage: 2%

consider the average mass of the human body as 70 kg.

then, trillions of microbes would have mass  

therefore, 100 trillion micro-organisms would weigh:

this is an approximate value and could change depending on the mass of the human body and percentage of the microbes present in it.

average mass per microorganism =
